Subject: Market Manipulation and Demand for Immediate Rectification

We, the undersigned participants in the Polymarket platform, formally denounce the manipulation of the market titled "Will Zelenskyy wear a suit before July?" and demand justice for all affected users.

The Market Rules Were Clear:
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Volodymyr Zelenskyy is photographed or videotaped wearing a suit between May 22 and June 30, 2025 ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

The images or video must be taken and released within this market's timeframe. The images or video must be authentic, not the result of artificial intelligence or video editing.

The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
What Happened:
There is clear, dated photographic and/or video evidence of Zelenskyy wearing a suit during the required timeframe. This should have led to an unquestionable “Yes” resolution, according to the exact wording of the market.

However, UMA,  Polymarket and Risk Labs resolved the market to “No” against the rules, against the evidence, and against the interests of honest market participants. This is not a mistake or a gray area. This is a deliberate manipulation of the market outcome.

This Is Market Fraud:
The evidence exists.
The timeframe matches.
The material is authentic.
The rule was met.
Yet UMA and Polymarket overrode the outcome, effectively stealing from users who participated in good faith based on the written rules. This is not a matter of interpretation. This is an abuse of power.

We Demand:
Immediate reversal of the resolution to “Yes”, in alignment with the clearly fulfilled criteria.
A public admission of the wrongful resolution and full transparency on the decision-making process.
Restitution for affected users who were financially harmed by this manipulation.
A commitment to never override or reinterpret market rules post hoc to suit internal preferences or biases.
Why This Matters:
This is more than a single market error. This is about the trust in decentralized prediction markets — and whether they can exist without centralized abuse of control. If markets can be manipulated this blatantly, the foundation of Polymarket’s legitimacy crumbles.

We will not tolerate theft disguised as moderation.

We will not accept rules that change after the fact.

We will not remain silent.

Justice for the market. Respect the rules. Honor the truth.
